Morning market in Luang Prabang

Grilling honeycombs wrapped in banana leaves

Monday, February 26                                                                           Laos

We visited the Luang Prabang morning market, where you could by anything, dead or alive - fresh caught fish, chickens ready for butchering, fresh cooked food, beautiful produce from the surrounding farms, clothes, medicines and more.
We


Preparing honeycombs for grilling - look at her beautiful skirt - typical tapestry for this area

The produce is beautifully displayed and very fresh


A local Buddha shrine with a special mudra position - Buddha calling for rain - typical only in Laos


So many varieties of rice - red rice is typical for this region


Bamboo weavings

Fish caught fresh from the Mekong, still on the line

Thousands of tiny little shrimp - how do you cook them?  Or peel them? (Ha ha!)

Traditional medicines

Selling machetes - because why not?

Keeping the flies off the fresh catch and cuts of meat

So many types of garlic and herbs

Already facile with the cell phone

Farm fresh eggs

Choosing the best chicken

Monk's morning shopping


Stop sign in English and Laotian
